leletállítást

leletállítást is a Hungarian term that translates to "artifact retrieval" or "artifact recovery." It refers to the process of locating, excavating, and documenting archaeological finds from a given site. This can involve various techniques, from simple surface surveys to complex excavation methods, depending on the nature of the site and the artifacts expected.

The primary goal of leletállítást is to gather information about past human activity, cultures, and environments. Archaeologists carefully record the location and context of each artifact, as this information is crucial for understanding its significance. Detailed notes, drawings, and photographs are taken throughout the process.

Once retrieved, artifacts are typically transported to a laboratory for further cleaning, preservation, and analysis. Specialists may examine the materials, craftsmanship, and any associated residues to learn more about their use and origin. The findings from leletállítást contribute to our understanding of history and can be used for research, exhibition, or public education. The term emphasizes the systematic and methodical nature of archaeological recovery.
